Abstract

The fluid level indicator for transparent, esp. plastics, containers, pref. windscreen washer fluid containers for vehicles, gives rapid level monitoring with improved visibility. The container side wall is shaped so as to form a guide for a float which is visible from outside the container. The guide section (5) is omega shaped and may be inwardly indented or outwardly projecting, with the level indicating float (6) enveloping the indentation or fitting inside the projection. The part of the container wall forming the guide is thinner than the rest of the container walls. The float is brightly coloured so as to be esp. conspicuous.

Description

'Fliissigkeitsstandsallzei er"'Liquid level indicator "

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fliissigkeitsstandsanzeiger fiir aus transparentem Material, insbesondere Kunststoff, bestehende Behälter, vorzugsweise Wascllfliissigkeitsbellälter fiir Scheibenwaschanlagen von Kraftwagen.The invention relates to a liquid level indicator for transparent material, in particular plastic, existing containers, preferably Washer fluid reservoir for windscreen washer systems in motor vehicles.

Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, um mit einfachen, nicht störanfälligen Mitteln eine schnelle Kontrolle des Fliissigkeitsstandes in derartigen UehÄltern zu ermöglichen. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 enthaltenen Merkma 1 e.The invention was based on the object of creating a possibility in order to quickly check the liquid level with simple, non-failure-prone means to enable in such UehÄltern. This task is solved by the in the characterizing Part of claim 1 contained features 1 e.

Die Ansprüche 2 und 3 geben besonders giinstige Formgestaltungen des der Führung dienenden Wandbereichs an.The claims 2 and 3 give particularly favorable shapes of the the wall area serving as a guide.

Die Anspriiche 4 und 5 schließlich betreffen Maßnahmen, die die Erkennbarkeit des Schwimmers verbessern und so eine rasche und sichere Kontrolle des Fliissigkeitsstandes erleichtern.The claims 4 and 5 finally relate to measures that the recognizability improve the swimmer and thus a quick and safe control of the fluid level facilitate.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung soll im folgenden anhand von zwei in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausfiihrungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden. In der Zeichnung zeigen Fig. l einen Querschnitt durch den der Fiihrung dienenden Bereich eines Behälters in Höhe des Schwimmers, Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie 11-11 in Fig. l, Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt entsprechend Fig. 1 bei einem Behälter mit anders gestalteter Führung, und Fig. 4 einen Schnitt nach der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 3.The subject matter of the invention will hereinafter be based on two in The exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing are explained in more detail. In the Show drawing Fig. 1 shows a cross section through the guide serving area of a container at the level of the float, Fig. 2 shows a section the line 11-11 in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows a cross section corresponding to FIG. 1 at a Container with a differently designed guide, and FIG. 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3.

Bei dem in den Fig. l und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung springt die Seitenwand 1 des aus einem transparenten Kunststoff bestehenden Behälters in dem der Führung dienenden Bereich 2 omegaförmig aus der Kontur des Behälters vor und bildet so eine diesen umgreifende Führung für den auf der Flüssigkeit 4 schwimmenden Schwimmer 3.In the embodiment shown in FIGS Invention jumps the side wall 1 of the consisting of a transparent plastic Container in the guiding area 2 omega-shaped from the contour of the The container in front and thus forms a guide that encompasses this for the liquid 4 floating floats 3.

Bei der in den Fig 3 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der der Führung dienende Bereich 5 omegaförmig in den Behälter eingezogen und der Schwimmer 6 ist so ausgebildet, daß er den Bereich 5 umgreift.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the is the Guide serving area 5 omega-shaped drawn into the container and the float 6 is designed so that it engages around area 5.
